Playing this as soon as I have a chance. Looks amusing enough, and free hat.

Esoterica · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2010, 03:30:47 AM »

This is definitely the best free game I've ever played.

Only tried playing as a tech so far, so if one of the other classes is more entertaining please speak up :3

Damnit, that first room in the second level. I'm the only one covering the left side and like 20 aliens come through the door. I got killed 3 times in a row in that same place.

That's annoying, in case you don't know, you can just go to settings, change your download region(I'm using Belgium,) and you can download it fine. It's what I did for Engineer update in Team Fortress 2.

I wonder what would have happened if I tried to download it right when it came out. I was too busy playing Half Life 2: Episode One to find out.

If you had pointed out to me that that was a door and not a window like the other two locations they kept pouring in from, I would've welded it shut. :V

The tesla gun is a great weapon. Decent damage to anything that isn't big, and doesn't hurt teammates.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2010, 04:55:13 AM »

I was in a game with 2 medics 1 Sp weapons and me as Tech. We were doing great, until we got to a mission that required at least 1 Flamethrower. Everyone got the Flamethrower, even the medics who switched classes. One guy got hit by a Parasite, and guess how it ended. In the second try those guys went back to Medic and we beat the level without any Parasites hatching. Parasites are really easy to avoid since they first need to hatch.

I can't connect to any games

Esoterica · « **Reply #41 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:30:32 AM »

My favorite weapon's definitely the shotty. Holy hell that thing does a lot of damage.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #42 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:49:22 AM »

Some people are really incompetent. One guy kept running away from my Med Beacons after he got infected that I had to waste 3 to save him. The guy that replaced him had a higher FF ratio than misses. And another guy I really can't describe his performance, seemed like he never played a video game before.

Krimmydoodle · « **Reply #43 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:51:42 AM »

Fell asleep while waiting for this to download. Time to check it out now that I'm awake again.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #44 on:** July 20, 2010, 07:02:28 AM »

Has anyone else gotten this? It's really fucking annoying. I can't shoot, melee, or drop Med Beacons when that happens

Tapsa · « **Reply #45 on:** July 20, 2010, 08:12:26 AM »

I got the connection problem fixed, I'll just host my own games.

It's so great you forget in the mean time that it's a double-barrelled pump-action shotgun and clip-fed!

Esoterica · « **Reply #46 on:** July 20, 2010, 08:37:45 AM »

Got the medigun. Hilarious that you can W+M2+M3 and just melee the shit out of everything while simultaneously healing yourself. Almost cleared a mission that way after the rest of my team died :V

It's like rickrolling. But in short.

Those were some very familiar alarms in Timor.

What do you have for Stean names, BTW? Just in case I want to play with you...

orinrin · « **Reply #50 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:50:26 AM »

Best item is the blink pack hands down. I love teleporting away right when my allies cry for help. And then I finish the level alone. :V

KomeijiKoishi · « **Reply #51 on:** July 20, 2010, 02:16:42 PM »

Why can't I still play something else than the offline mission? I only got once into online play, and then I couldn't participate, only watch other people play the game.

DAMMIT

I'd like to, if I could get into a game again.

Does "Establishing the connection" always take 5 minutes at least?

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #54 on:** July 20, 2010, 02:58:44 PM »

Is it funny that Alien Swarm took about 3 seconds to boot up and TF2 takes about a minute?

Cadmas · « **Reply #55 on:** July 20, 2010, 03:05:07 PM »

My bro that's about twice as long to load up aliens. There's a lot more 3d stuff in the menus I guess.

KomeijiKoishi · « **Reply #56 on:** July 20, 2010, 03:12:51 PM »

Okay, it's now trying to find a connection for TWENTY. MINUTES. What am I doing wrong?

Bananamatic · « **Reply #57 on:** July 20, 2010, 03:22:30 PM »

Try a different game

I can't believe it, but it worked!

EDIT: Having Katamari on the Rocks as a battle theme is so inappropriate, it's awesome.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #59 on:** July 20, 2010, 03:40:26 PM »

I think the problem with connecting to some games is because of the host's connection
